What ventilation costs
Across Australia, ventilation typically runs $336 – $1,029 for bathroom exhaust fan, and $281 – $1,480 for rangehood installation.
Local prices vary, so these are typical Australia-wide ranges, not a quote for New South Wales. What you'll pay comes down to the size of the job, the condition of what's being worked on, and the finish you choose. Get a few quotes to see your exact number. It's free.
What's in a good Ventilation quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each ventilation specialist's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
